FTRS Short Story

Good News

Gilly's P.O.V.

"I think I might actually be getting seasick." I groan from atop Erp's shoulder.

All I can see ahead of me is sea, sea, sea, and more sea. My stomach churns, threatening to give up everything I had eaten earlier.

"I think we'll be there soon. Just a couple more hours, right buddy?" Jack says, patting Erp's shoulder.

"Hours? Ugh!" I resist the urge to throw up on the spot.

Wilson squeaks out a complaint.

"I know, I want to go home too!" 

He squeaks some more.

I tense up, "Don't you dare throw up on me, it's only your fault for eating so much."

Angry squeaks.

"C'mon! I did tell you to not eat that much cheese! Give me some slack!"

Wilson's half way through a squeak when he suddenly throws up.

I scramble away from him as fast as I can without falling off the giant and plummeting to my death. I've had enough of almost dying to last me a lifetime. 

I manage to crawl across to Erp's other shoulder, all that almost dying experience has given me some useful skills.

Jack looks up and hands me a sandwich, "Hungry? It's about lunchtime now."

I turn green at the sight of food, "No thanks, Wilson kinda just spoiled any thoughts of food for me."

Some unpleasant noises come from the other side, then some angry squeaking, interrupted by more unpleasant sounds.

I fight the urge to throw up. "How much longer?" I ask meekly.

"Lucky for you, just another thirty minutes."

I'm not sure whether I should breathe a sigh of relief or groan.

Kayla's P.O.V.

I lie on my bed practicing turning my pillow into a cup and back again.

Suddenly the door slams open and Jocelyn charges in.

"Good news." she announces, "Jack's found Gilly and their back at FTRS, now hurry up and relay the message."

She walks out. I couldn't help notice that her hair is disheveled and there are dark rings under her eyes, she must've tried really hard to find a spell to find Gilly.

I always knew there was a caring side of her. I smile to myself.

Jocelyn pokes her head back in, "What are you smiling in there for? Hurry up and relay the message!"

"Coming! Coming!" I say, turning my cup back into my pillow and walk out. Jax.... is either gonna freak or complain.

Hey! Didn't expect to see me so soon did you? Well, I made a promise and I found free time. So here you go! I hope you enjoyed this chapter and I will try to keep up the quick updates. Thanks again for sticking with this story and not giving up on it!
